Part of me kind of hopes that we go a while without finding out what invisible girl's deal is, and she just inexplicably keeps showing up and proceeding in this event (and succeeding at other stuff where "invisibility" wouldn't be overly useful).

You don't see how the underdog protagonist of a shonen story could possibly win in a situation where it looks like he's on his last legs? Am I reading your post correctly? I just want to make sure I am. Also, I find it hilarious that you're suggesting that exhaustion will put someone out of a tournament in fiction of any kind.

Look man you read enough Ippo and you start to always expect the worst and for rival fights to never happen

I just noticed something. In chapter 46, Gran Torino called Deku Toshinori. Do you think that's significant?

The end of chapter 47 has him referring to All Might as Toshinori, so I'm guessing it's just All Might's real name.

They don't want the story to end up with the heroes convincing Stain that his ideas are wrong because he's just mad about his tragic past, as opposed to convincing him that his ideas are wrong because they are wrong

What are you not getting about this

I don't think you read my posts, but what I'm not getting is the blame. The problem was never villains having tragic back stories, and Stain having a back story that feeds into his current ideologies and actions would just end up as consistent characterization. The problem (if it occurred) would come from bad writing, and I also hope this story keeps up its good writing.

The point here is not whether he has a tragic backstory or not, the point is whether Stain has an actual ideology that stems from his backstory but is still logical and debatable instead of STAIN HATES MOST SUPERHEROES BECAUSE ONE TIME A HERO KILLED HIS DOG!!! The latter is pretty common for villains in this kind of manga and would be pretty disappointing, partly because it allows the heroes to just dismiss anything he says as the ravings of a tragic crazy person. If it's the former, the heroes would have to actually address his arguments and philosophy.

If I remember correctly, in YuYu Hakusho Hiei was not going to appear after his initial appearance, but was insanely popular in polls so he was turned into a main character.

Deku was also shown studying superheroing like crazy and taking gigantic amounts of notes on every superhero he could, and this later translates into him being able to learn from other characters more easily, like picking up on Gran Torino's hints and copying Bakugou's style

Naruto was shown learning how to turn into a hot girl to give his teacher a nosebleed, which is mostly used for gags because he's ninja-jesus

I mean, we see Deku developing strategies for Uraraka to use against Bakugou. The school has entire classes dedicated to superhero management and support, aka the kind of thing someone who is quirkless but extremely knowledgeable about superheroics would be very well suited for

Does he become dumber the way Kaminari does or does he just start to pass out? It seems like the latter considering he's talking about how he's sleepy.

Clearly the best strategy was to have Sugar Man spiral throw a hardened Kirishima straight through the exit, like some kind of Super Dodge Ball.

I'll be real here and say I wouldn't mind Satou getting dropped/shuffled to some other class in favor of another character getting transferred to the department of heroics - which they've already confirmed is a thing that can happen.

I dunno, maybe I'm just being harsh, but eh, he's kind of the odd one out in the class.

You should wait to see if he gets to have a personality and do things before writing him off as worthless imo

Yeah, that was Butterball. He showed up during Avengers: The Initiative and later made a few appearances in Avengers Academy. I liked him because he got to have a fun storyline and also because the middle of nowhere he's from is pretty close to the middle of nowhere I'm from. Part of his thing was that his invincibility basically extended all the way to being physically numb - he enters a relationship with a girl who pretty much ignites everyone she's around because she doesn't affect him, but his superpower is so thorough that he can't even get aroused.

(Also Taskmaster and Constrictor letting him beat them up were actually working as instructors and were trying to cheer him up after he got kicked out of the program but w/e)

On that point: does Aizawa's power work on invisible people? His Quirk is literally "neutralise the Quirk of the person I'm looking at", so... Would it work on someone he can't see? Or does he just need to look in their general direction?

Presumably it depends on the nature of their invisibility - Aizawa's quirk only works on things that need to be "activated," more or less. For example, he can't negate Sero or Iida's quirks, since they just always have cellophane arms/engine legs, but he can stop Deku from activate AFO or Momo from making stuff. So if you were naturally invisible, he probably couldn't negate it.

Of course, what you're asking sounds like a science fact, and I'd guess he'd just need to look at where they're standing; otherwise you have to start asking questions about how Hagakure can see when light can't hit her eyes
